Data Entry Test

Through this Data Entry Test, you will find out what is your average speed for data entry measured in Words per Minute. You will have statistics on your typing accuracy after the 60 seconds timed challenge. Here you can test your ability to type fast and without mistakes!

To start the Data Entry Test JUST START TYPING!

The timer will start running precisely when you start to write so you will get a clean start each time. To practice tests just press the blue “refresh” button on the top right.
When your time duration runs out, the scoring will show how fast and correct you can write every single word. This one minute test is pretty revealing for one’s touch type speed accuracy.

Improving your data entry skills with Gonna Type

Passing a data entry test requires a lot of practice. The usual minimum requirement of words per minute for an alphanumeric data entry is 60 W.P.M. While 100 and above is the touch typing level of an executive secretary.

It looks like you have a lot of work to do in order to be prepared. So relax, grab a cup a coffee and start using our test! Unlike the coffee, the test is free. You can take it over and over again. There are no limits on using it. It is just you and your keypad. Just read the text and reproduce it in an accurate way.

At GonnaType, we provide a full range of typing tests

If you are not satisfied with your data entry test results, you could try practicing with another one.
The number pad is your most feared enemy from your keyboard? Are you looking to improve your ten key speed?
We have developed a test timed specifically for that. To enter go to GonnaType.com/ten-key-test/. The numeric keys will be your best friend in no time.

Some tests automatically calculate the keystrokes per hour or KPH. They count the number of correct keys you hit ignoring spaces.

Forget about a typing tutor!

If you are looking for data entry lessons, Gonna Type is not the place for that. From our collected data, people commonly learn how to type just by typing practice. If you have the patience to enroll in a class or a course, we do not advise against it.

Since your habits may cause you pain in your forearms or your wrists, here are a few pointers to help you avoid those:

sit straight at your work desk

check that the monitor is right in front of you

curl and stretch your fingers periodically

try not to twist your hands or your wrist by adjusting the table and chair height to the least possible strain
